Estuary plan consultation
The people of Clare, Kerry and Limerick in Ireland are being invited to attend one of a series of public consultations on a major strategic plan for the future development and management of marine related industry and tourism along Ireland’s largest estuary, the Shannon Estuary.
The Draft Strategic Integrated Framework Plan (SIFP) for the Shannon Estuary was launched in December by Jan O’ Sullivan, TD, Minister of State for Housing & Planning and has been commissioned by a multi-agency steering group comprising Clare County Council as lead authority, Kerry County Council, Limerick City and County Councils, Shannon Development and Shannon Foynes Port Company.
The land and marine based plan, the first of its type to be developed in Ireland, indentifies a number of strategic sites along the Estuary for future possible development in the areas of industry, tourism, energy, fishing and aquaculture and marine related industry.
